Michael Christian may be a businessman by day, but by night he is a gear-obsessed, drumming machine. He even diagnosed himself with a rare disorder called “G.A.S.” And although we chuckled like kindergarteners at the name of his condition, we ceased and assisted when he explained that this did not stand for an uncomfortable bodily function, but for “Gear Acquisition Syndrome.” With a collection of as many snare drums as birthdays he’s celebrated, this 29-year-old Indonesia native has been suffering from the disease for the past four years. But out of his entire collection, he is most proud of his Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute Nouveau kit.
